ServeWise aims to set professional, responsible standards for everyone involved in the sale of alcohol: to reduce the incidence of accidents and crime resulting from alcohol misuse and irresponsible practice.

Under the new Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005, training is now mandatory at all levels of the trade and ServeWise training fits the bill all the way through.

Ramsay McGhee Training and Services Ltd offers Licensees throughout the Highlands and Islands the whole range of Serve Wise courses and the opportunity to have their staff trained at venues and at times suitable to them thereby considerably reducing the amount of staff downtime for necessary training.

Other advantages to be gained through ServeWise Training include:

	All staff being aware of their legal responsibilities - this increases staff confidence and also helps to safeguard the licence.
	The importance of customer service, teamwork and the setting of high standards.
	The reduction in staff turnover - properly trained staff has the knowledge and confidence to do the job and will remain in the industry.
	The rise in standards, which will impact, positively on community safety in terms of reduced drunkenness, vandalism and anti-social behaviour in general.
